The Boutique Bundle HD from McDSP provides multiple, essential audio production tools via three plug-ins. The collection of vintage and modern effects includes compressors, equalizers, distortion effects, tape machine and channel amplifier emulations, a vintage limiter, and more. The HD version allows for use of the plug-ins within Avid's Pro Tools HD systems, taking advantage of the additional functionality these systems provide.
The 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip HD V6 from McDSP features all the modules from the 6020 Ultimate EQ and 6030 Ultimate Compressor plug-ins and provides everything needed to make a mix sound great. Additional modules include gates, expanders, signal saturators, and specialized filters. Operation is simple and intuitive with artist presets from Mike Dean, Bob Horn, Neal Avron, ROCAsound, John Feldmann, Aaron Harris, and Lovy Longomba.
The plug-in features input and output stages, wrapped around three module bays in which any of the twenty-eight modules can be inserted. Easily drag and drop any module to rearrange the signal flow of the channel strip. A module selector panel allows quick auditioning of equalizers, compressors, and additional effects.
Analog Channel v6 from McDSP is a pair of plug-ins that emulates the sounds of high-end analog tape machines, analog tape, and analog channel amplifiers. With the experience of modelling analog compressors and filter circuits, both vintage and modern, McDSP has provided a solution for smoothing the digital edge that can sometimes accumulate on digital workstations as track count increases.
One section of the Analog Channel, AC101, acts as a digital pre-amp allowing even excessive amounts of gain without digital distortion. A drive control determines where the audio sits in the saturation/compression region. Attack and release times of the distortion character are adjustable.
The second section, AC202, provides standard tape machine parameters such as bias, playback speed, and IEC1/2 equalization. However, it also provides controls well beyond the limits of analog tape devices, including adjustable low frequency roll off and head bump - independent of playback speed. The user can select from several playback head types, and even control the rate at which tape saturation is disengaged. Modern and vintage tape formulations are available.
The HD plug-ins provide AAX DSP for use with Pro Tools HD, but also includes AAX Native, Audio Units and VST versions for use with other DAWs including Logic, Digital Performer (DP), Cubase, and Ableton Live.
- Library of presets emulating analog mixing systems

This electronic download of the 4040 Retro Limiter v6 - Limiter Plug-In from McDSP combines a look-ahead brick wall limiter function with several subjective treatments to make the limiting action subtle yet vintage. The plug-in uses an output stage topology designed to eliminate digital clipping at any output level and produce a smoother distortion characteristic.
The HD plug-in provides AAX DSP for use with Pro Tools HD, but also includes AAX Native, Audiosuite, Audio Units and VST versions for use with other DAWs including Logic, Digital Performer (DP), Cubase, and Ableton Live.
- Unique original algorithms with transparent yet vintage sound
- Up to 36 dB of signal gain
- Anti-clip output stage topology
- Analog saturation modeling
- Double precision processing
- Low latency
- Mono and stereo versions
